Happy Thanksgiving!


Today we worked on revising the introduction of our thematic essays. We did this by looking at the techniques the author used in the mentor text titled, "Teacher Writing Exemplar: Theme Based Essay." We discovered that the author starts with a statement about the world, then leads into the title, author, and a few details about the main character. We noticed the author used an appositive statement. Then, the author ends with stating the theme.

Be thinking a quote or favorite line from a song, poem, book or anything else that connects to your theme for your story. We will use this in our conclusion Monday.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend! Yay!!
